Violent Clashes Erupt During Anti-Israel Protest in Brooklyn's Borough Park

A group of anti-Israel protesters clashed with pro-Israel supporters in Borough Park, Brooklyn, on February 19, 2025, leading to at least one arrest for assault in the crowd.
The demonstration, organized by the anti-Israel group Pal-Awda, protested against the sale of properties in Israel, claiming they were equivalent to 'stolen Palestinian land.'
Protesters shouted slogans such as 'Zionists go to hell' and 'settlers go back home,' prompting law enforcement to intervene as tensions rose.
The event marks a rare occurrence of protests in Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods, following numerous demonstrations since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.
